I've never liked school, always thought it was a machine trying to turn me into a clone of every other person on the planet.
At 13 I started building content businesses, my "first" ever business consisted of me taking insights from nonfiction books and turning them into short fictional stories (started this because I noticed people were spending hundreds of dollars on nonfiction books they didn't end up reading).
The business didn't do too well, the quality of content absolutely sucked.
I stared at 0 visits, 0 sign ups for a long time.
Fast forward 3 years later and I'm now building a startup related newsletter.
For the first time in my life I've had this kind of success, I was able to get 424 subscribers in 52 days.
And more than half of them come back every week to read my new issues.
I also wrote a thread on every strategy that has been working for me so far.
